Many things have died in 2009…we lost a lot of people like movie stars, politicians and ideas…..some deaths were more profound than others….this is……THE DECADE THAT WAS…..a look back at the 1st decade of the 2000’s……

It was a  decade of wonder and amazement……a decade of death and destruction……a decade of scandals and a decade of ruin…..in other words a decade that will live in infamy….(I know…if it was good enough for Roosevelt then it is good enough for Info Ink)……..This decade could possibly the worst decade in American history since the Great Depression……Personally…..I could lived without it…..

We, as Americans, as well as the rest of the world lived through much….much too much than should not have been……

A disputed election/9/11/2 wars/many American deaths/death of bi-partisanship/redefining of the word change/economic collapse/1st African-American president/growth of more racism/a health joke/dysfunctional Congress/death of hope/death throes of the middle class/political sex scandals/the sexual appetite of a once powerful sports icon/

All in all a really crappy decade, unless you are on Wall Street where free taxpayer money was everywhere……..it ran generously like that of a busted water pipe…..a good decade for greed…..and lobbyists spending money like drunken sailors……

Some good came out in the decade, but all in all, it is a decade that most Americans could have lived without……we can only pray that this new decade will be kinder to the American people than the last……but I am a skeptic…….
